On this month's episode, our former host visits to tell us about the best romance books coming out this season and joins us in a deep dive into the trends and tropes of the genre. We also discuss the phenomenon that has taken hold of the romance world (or maybe the world in general!) — sports romances.

We want to hear from our listeners! Email us at checked.in@davenportlibrary.com
